Network 1212/Social Programs

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Welcome to Network 1212! Our social network is open to young adults, 18-35, with high-functioning autism or social/communication challenges who can participate without parents. Siblings or supportive friends are welcome. Watch for our meetings on Facebook, Twitter, and the meetup group CASPAN where we announce our events.

Many of the Network 1212 events are hosted or begin in the community space of Project 1212. We provide a number of opportunities for outings as well as educational meetings, including Explore Chicago, cooking classes, parties and in-house movie nights. Our long term goal is to see what happens to the depth and stability of individual networks for adults with autism when we provide the structure and document the results of our work.
